Stainless Steel Butt Weld Pipe Bend, Brand Name : JSFITTINGS

Common use radius bend in 3D bend and 5D bend, it is similar to a pipe elbow, but a different pipe bend is longer than an elbow and is usually manufactured for the specific needs.

• Differences between Steel Pipe Bend VS Elbow

  Pipe bend and elbow both for change the pipe direction, still there are a lot of differences in below aspects:
  Bending Radius
  Manufacturing Processes
  Different cost
  Application scope
  (The Butt Weld Elbow can be 45 Degrees,90 Degrees and 180 Degrees

  Bend:

  The Bend can be 180 Degree L/R Return Bend and 180 Degree S/R Return Bend

  Buttweld Pipe Bend Key Characteristics
  • Connection: Welded directly to the pipe, creating a strong, leak-proof, seamless connection for high integrity.
  • Application: Ideal for large diameter pipes (above 2 inches) and demanding industrial environments.
  • Function: Changes flow direction (elbows, return bends), creates branches (tees), or reduces flow (reducers).
  • Types: Available as 45°, 90°, 180° elbows, often with Long Radius (LR) for better flow or Short Radius (SR) for tight spaces.
  • Standards: Conforms to standards like ANSI/ASME B16.9, matching pipe dimensions (NPS) and wall thickness (Schedule).
  • Materials: Commonly made from wrought carbon steel (like ASTM A234 WPB), stainless steel (304, 316), or alloy steels, matching the connected pipe material.
